A language not optimized for reading code cannot be the best in the age of LLMs.
Then they should go wild on a governmental campaign about how FB is bad for mental health with daily TV, radio ads etc. Fight fire with fire.

Re:Hurl: Run and test HTTP requests with plain text on Friday June 20, 2025 @02:33AM (#44325243)
Greatly reduced boilerplate. Diffing snapshots and providing previews to accept or reject changes is also more robust and user friendly.
Re:Hurl: Run and test HTTP requests with plain text on Friday June 20, 2025 @02:32AM (#44325237)
Snapshots diff current with previous output and I only have to accept or reject the diff. I don't have to write the expected response myself. Snapshots can also stub out parts of the response that are not determistic.

What's missing from Hurl is snapshot testing. After using `insta` for testing APIs, I cannot go back.
Re:Rustls Server-Side Performance on Saturday May 17, 2025 @05:29AM (#44013145)
Rewriting could also make sense if there is a chance to improve the architecture based on the experience with the existing codebase. Something that would otherwise be impossible to even consider.

consistency between platforms
"really should be" ?

"in C# or Java" ?

where do you even base these claims? Do you know what C# and Java threads have that Rust doesn't? data races. And don't get me stated on the biggest paradigm failure that is OOP.

Agreed, RustRover is by far the best IDE for Rust atm. I also use the AI Assistant which is so toned down that it's actually useful and not full of spam.

The Rhai interpreter is configurable, you can choose which features of Rain will be available on the runtime. You can even disable keywords.

Re:Fast Development with Zed and Dev Containers on Friday October 25, 2024 @12:42PM (#41946976)
IDE integration. For example, I use the Jetbrains RustRover IDE on Fedora Atomic, which is an immutable Linux distribution that is based on keeping the OS setup as clean as possible. I use DevContainer to install the toolchains I need for my project and the IDE takes care of setting up my development environment.

> The big selling point on Rust is no memory leaks

Memory leaks are not considered memory errors in Rust and they are allowed.

You are not convincing me that these people care about the longevity of the project when they are so smug and ready dismiss anything that is not fitting their whatever agenta, even if that is a supposedly passion for contribution and development.

What you don't understand about what you call "pro-Rust crowd" is that there is a reason to push for memory safety and encoding the invariants in the type-system. It's the closer you can get to a mathematically proven system.

If you don't want one of your most core systems to be as robust as possible against security vulnerabilities, even if that means going out your way either learning something unfamiliar or god forbit communicating, like you have more emotional quality than a potato, with other people then you are a horrible person.

Well then raise these concerns and find a way to solve them together. Not dismiss a proven solution to real and even dangerous problems like memory unsafety.

It's unreasonable for educated grown men to react like 12yo children and resist change cause "we don't like eating our vegetables even though they are good for our health". If you actually care about the Linux kernel you will find a way forward even if that means communicating with people or even changing habits.

At the end of the day I don't think that the people that are contributing to the Linux Kernel do it out of good will but rather more about than prestige and building a resume. Or else we wouldn't have this resistance to progress.

Why the answers to these questions are not the same as if C code was calling other C code?

what if you anonymize the actual user entity with that user id instead? even if you have that user id in your logs the name or any sensitive field would be something like 'GDPR says HI".

At this rate of naming projects after the same valuable stones, we are going to need namespacing for the CLI tools.
Re:Cosmic Desktop: Hammering Out New Cosmic Features on Thursday April 18, 2024 @09:23AM (#40075936)
You realize they created that in what? less than two years? Completely from scratch with the whole stack in Rust. GNOME is 25 yo and it's superior to a alpha software DE but only barely. So I guess it wont be long until potentially GNOME would be ridiculously inferior to COSMIC like it already is to KDE. (I have used GNOME since forever btw)

"peos" (πέος) literally means penis in Greek.
